Subject: [PATCH v1 0/2] arm64: tlb: add support for TLBI RANGE instructions

NOTICE: this series are based on the arm64 for-next/tlbi branch:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux.git for-next/tlbi

--
ARMv8.4-TLBI provides TLBI invalidation instruction that apply to a
range of input addresses. This series add support for this feature.

I tested this feature on a FPGA machine whose cpus support the tlbi range.
As the page num increases, the performance is improved significantly. When
page num = 256, the performance is improved by about 10 times.

Below is the test data when the stride = PTE:

	[page num]	[classic]		[tlbi range]
	1		16051			13524
	2		11366			11146
	3		11582			12171
	4		11694			11101
	5		12138			12267
	6		12290			11105
	7		12400			12002
	8		12837			11097
	9		14791			12140
	10		15461			11087
	16		18233			11094
	32		26983			11079
	64		43840			11092
	128		77754			11098
	256		145514			11089
	512		280932			11111
